Hi Sigmund
thanks for your post !
looking and seeking around, have found this:
pMusic seems playing midi files at the conditions that another non-midi (i.e. .mp3 file) file is present in the right-hand window; if only a .mid file present then no play.
/root/.pmusic/tmp/exec looks like:

This release has focus on bugfixing, but it also includes 2 major fixed issues.

What happens when you move your collection to another location?
In fact nothing if you browse for your files, but if you searches or in any other way takes advantage of the pMusic database, it has to be updated, and you loose your most-played info of these files. With 3.1.2, pMusic offers a smoother solution.
At once you try to add a file to playlist that does not exist, this message pops up.

I have used pMusic on a netbook, and I saw that some of the windows are too tall.
To do something with this, I have rewritten the code that generates the heading. Now it allows additional widgets inside the heading which has spacesaving effect on some windows

Keeping the db in good shape is important to benefit of the pMusic environment. There has surely been some issues in the 3 branch. This because the db is dynamically written to every time pMusic detects new info about tracks. I have several times made some improvement to this. Today, I have been clicking aggressively all day, and in the end spotted a bottleneck. I can't say for sure that all issues are gone, but much better anyway.

I see that another approach could be a backup function, but things should just work...

Of course someone would find it logical to also include a db editor, but if things works, this should not be required. On the other hand, an editor could be handy for geeks who don't want to edit the index file by hand. This could be offered as a plugin. - at least in the first stage. I have no plans right now.

some quests:
- Does the simple installation now work, or dows it only download pmusic_index_radio.gz ?
- Do you get any errors if running 'pmusic --debug' in terminal and using the advanced radio-station builder?
- What Puppy are you running?

Since I can't reproduce the bug, we must try to find the exact command that corrupts it all.

I deleted /root/.pmusic/index_radio, then ran pmusic from the menu.
It started its GUI perfectly, as it has done.
Then I did the Music Sources -> Radio stations -> Setup and clicked the Install button. The index_radio installed perfectly, as it has been.

Lucid Puppy 5.2.8-005
This may be the "culprit"; I will try Pmusic 3.14 under 'lina-lite.

EDIT: I rebooted to 'lina-lite. Deleted index_radio. Installed it from the GUI. Now, when I clicked the Advanced tab, the screen to Update appeared.
I clicked the button at 9:36 USA Eastern time.
It is progressing normally, ie 21% at present.

Could this be a problem with the gtkdialog in Lucid Puppy 5.5.8??
Beyond my ability.
